Luo Binghe puts up a 'Live Laugh Love' sign in the bamboo house and the 'Live' is in bold and underlined
The problem with being a gay who can do math is that your brain starts mathing the math
Saw that Colleen Hoover book meme and made a version for SVSSS
I forgot to add extreme power gap (both ways!) damnit

People really read Scum Villian and think Shen Yuan as Shen Qingqiu doesn't care about any of the people around him?
Yeah he struggles to see them as actual people at first but that changes over the years! Long before he realises it!
And saying that he doesn't care that Shen Jiu was abused? He literally yells at Airplane for creating his backstory and putting him through it!
He does feel for Shen Jiu and mourns that he wasn't there to hear Yue Qingyuan's explanation and apology
However! He doesn't let Shen Jiu's trauma justify him abusing Luo Binghe in the same way which is correct!
Yes what Shen Jiu went through was horrible and deserving of of sympathy but he also regularly had a child whipped bloody!
He didn't just bully Luo Binghe he abused him horribly and broke his spirit
The abyss didn't really blacken Luo Binghe in PIDW, Shen Jiu did. The abyss was the final act of Shen Jiu in the process
Thats why while SVSSS Binghe is blackened its not nearly as much. Because there were gaps between Shen Jiu and the abyss where Shen Qingqiu was loving and kind because he was Shen Yuan
They spell it out! Shen Jiu is a complicated villian, he is sympathetic but he's still a villian. (And I say this as a Shen Jiu fan)
And Shen Yuan pretends he doesn't care, that he's seperate, as a defense mechanism. But his actions are the opposite
He saves Liu Qingge so Liu Qingge can protect him later and then repeatedly puts himself in danger to protect or help Liu Qingge
He goes running towards Cang Qiong when Luo Binghe is laying seige to protect everyone and because he's realised Luo Binghe loves him and has accepted that even though he's still struggling with what it means for him
He repeatedly abandons attempts to run away and protect himself in favour of protecting others
In fact in Sha Hualing's raid on the sect after he's poisoned (that happened because of an action he took to instinctively protect) he was fully prepared to self detonate right then and there to protect the sect
So from really quite early on he was already treating them as more than characters
Just how can you read Scum Villian and think Shen Yuan doesn't care?
(yes this is about that one post. No I'm not responding to it directly to save my sanity)
Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you donβt like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lolΒ
